Testimonials:
"Let me introduce you to the finest realtor in New Jersey, Mike McDonald. This property professional showed us homes for over a year, more than 30 miles away from his own office. He is dedicated and very patient, helpful, and responsive. He endured our very specific requirements for the home in the Lake Hopatcong area. Our requirements were so specific in fact, they were basically unreasonable unless we could double our budget. Then comes Michael, who drove countless miles and examined over a thousand listings, searching for a property that doesn't exist. Until he found it! We had to make no compromises, and found everything we were looking for in a dream home. In the end, this fine realtor even saved me $2,000 on the offer I was making. 5 stars all around. I recommend this guy so hard he should start paying me." Louis Anderson IV

My wife and I own a home in Jersey City, but wanted to move somewhere closer to our jobs to shorten the 120 mile round trip commute. We began casually looking for houses to rent in Central Jersey, which is where we met Michael McDonald. We looked at a lot of homes and no matter where the house was or what day or time we wanted to see it, Michael was with us every step of the way to make sure we got the right house for our growing family. One day, Mike received word of a house that just went on the market and Mike got us in there to view the house the very next day. It turned out the be THE house. He knew it, we knew it and everything clicked. Mike helped us finalize the paperwork, helped us find movers, and was the liaison between us and the new landlord until everything was ready. The process could not have gone smoother. Now it was time to get our Jersey City home rented and we already knew we wanted Mike to take care of this for us. There was work to be done on the house so Mike got us in touch with a great contractor to get the house ready for renting. The entire process was new to us. We were going to be first time landlords, so we were somewhat nervous to potentially carry payments on two houses, but Mike always reassured us that he would find tenants within our time frame. We spoke and texted, or emailed daily without fail. There was constant communication from him which made us feel at ease. He marketed the house through every outlet and constantly updated it to make sure it was the top option on each website. Within a short period of time, Mike found the perfect tenant for the house. Again, it just clicked. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we began the rental process, my wife and I were skeptical because we have heard horror stories about dealing with realtors. Mike was honest, realistic, knowledgeable, ALWAYS available, hardworking, and down to earth. We were blessed to have worked with him and we highly recommend him. Thank you, Ivan and Lea
"I had spent about two years trying to sell my townhouse in Rahway. I had tried two different relators with absolutely no luck. Once my husband and I signed Mike Mcdonald on as our relator, we had the townhouse under contract within 30 days and sold within two months. Mike is thorough, professional and gives 100% attention and time to his clients needs. Many other relators take this profession as a side job where as Mike actually puts in the time and energy into his clients needs. My husband and I are now in the market to buy a new home and whenever we have a question or want to schedule time to see a home, Mike is there to help just about any time of day! I highly recommend Mike McDonald!" -Tiffany Festa-Sneddon
"We recently purchased a home in Edison NJ. Our realtor, Michael McDonald made the entire process of buying a home so stress free. He was always willing to meet us on short notice if there was a house we wanted to see. We actually enjoyed the entire process instead of stressing as most home buyers do. I recommend Mike highly. He was very professional and patient with us as we were probably not the easiest to deal with! I will be using Mike in the future for any and all of my real estate transactions." Jean P.
“Michael McDonald was an instrumental piece in selling my grandmothers condo. He was patient and caring in a tough situation and made us feel comfortable coming to him with any questions. He went out of his way to help with ensuring that we had a smooth sale. We were able to sell the condo quickly and for the price we wanted. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a realtor that is willing to go the extra mile for them. A very happy client” Noelle Meeney
"Many thanks for showing us house again, especially to our parents. They really liked you and thought you were so nice. My mom commented how you took the time to show them the garage. You are going to be a top notch realtor in my opinion. I just hope you stay the way you are and don’t get jaded by some of the shady people in the field. You have a high degree of honesty and integrity and it radiates from you. Keep up the good work the field needs people like you and believe me people notice it!" M.N.

"Mike is one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He truly takes others' needs into consideration to get the best results, and everything he does is with honesty and integrity. I definitely have, and will continue to, recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy real estate agent." Jessica Horhay
“I have worked with Mike on real estate transactions and I would absolutely recommend hiring him as a real estate agent. Choosing a realtor can be a difficult process because it is hard to find one that is knowledgeable, reliable, and who can truly put a client's mind at ease about issues that may arise during a sale or purchase. Fortunately, Mike has all of these qualities. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in New Jersey, one of your first calls should be to Mike.”

Mike McDonald is among the finest realtors I’ve worked with. As an attorney, I see many realtors and how they treat their clients especially once they have got the client to work with them. Mike has handled numerous complex transactions efficiently and stood by his clients as a friend and thorough professional. Mike is unique and puts his client’s best interests in mind always; even if it means looking for more houses for a buyer or getting the most value for your home for sellers. You will find the perfect house or sell your home with Mike on your side. Honesty and integrity are synonymous with Mike. A. Naik, Esq.
As a professional who has recently completed a real estate transaction with Mike, I can say he is definitely attentive, quick to respond to any questions, and conducts himself with the highest standard of professionalism. One of the most pleasant and kind realtors I've had the pleasure of working with. Claudia Muniz
